Therapy Zone Pain & Injury Clinic

I used to be a fitness instructor when I was younger, and at my highest point taught around 25 aerobics & step classes a week.I stopped teaching around 15 years ago, but frequently still suffer with muscle spasms in my lower back from an old injury I sustained when I fell off a stage during one of my classes.I live in London now, but on a recent visit back to see my family in Alloa - my back went into spasm, and I was in agony.I went online looking for a local physio and found the therapy zone, and Vanessa..Vanessa was amazing ! -She did a full assessment of my injury and then used a combination of treatments tailored to suit my issue -She took me through a series of stretches to help give me some mobility - as well as giving me advice on exercises that would help strengthen my lower back.Vanessa explained things simply and clearly and was happy to answer any questions I had.Within a few days my back was much better and the pain was gone…I would definitely recommendVanessa and Therapy Zone to everyone

After constant back pain due to work and sports related injuries I decided to give. Vanessa a try. After first consultation I knew she knew her stuff as my back was instantly better. I now go once a month for a mot. Not only this she gives you the education behind your pain and gives you exercises to combat the affected areas at home. Awesome and will keep returning

Damaged my shoulder mid December as a result of over extending behind me and lifting a heavy bag. Eventually went to docs who basically said to put up with it. Simple things like putting my jacket on were agony. A friend recommended Therapy Zone so I thought I had nothing to lose. Vanessa was so helpful, explaining everything she was doing and made me feel at ease. After the treatment I couldn't believe the difference. I previously couldn't lift my arm up far but now I am able to. Wish I had visited Vanessa sooner !!

After experiencing pain in my right knee and surrounding muscles I decided it was time for another appointment with Vanessa on Monday 9/3/2020. I was concerned that I had done damage to my knee joint however a quick assessment by Vanessa determined that it was muscular and so she carried out a deep tissue massage and gave me some advice on stretching exercises. Four and a half mile walk with two large dogs today and I'm pleased to say no ill effects after Vanesa's treatment. Highly recommend.

I'd been suffering with a knee injury after a fall while skiing for over a year. After one visit to Vanessa she talked me through the injury, treated it and gave me some aftercare treatment to continue at home, my knee is feeling fantastic. I would highly recommend her and have done so to various family and friends.

I recently went for lower back pain caused by lifting weights while strength training. The pain was stopping me from working out and limited my mobility.After one session the pain had gone and the mobility started to return. Vanessa is great at explaining how and why she is performing certain stretches or therapy so that you leave with a better understanding of what caused the injury and how to prevent it from happening again. She also gave me stretches to perform before and after workouts which have helped my mobility and are now a core part of my daily gym routine.If your in pain I would highly recommend Therapy Zone.

I have been attending the Therapy Zone on and off for the last 4-5 years originally for back problem and most recently with the after effects of knee replacement. Vanessa is very approachable, knowledgeable and sympathetic. She is excellent at locating the problem, talking through her findings with the use of the visual displays and reinforcing her knowledge whilst treating the affected area.Vanessa is very diplomatic always allowing me to make the decision of whether or not to make another appointment.I am over 65 so eligible for 20% off fees☺

Just want to say a huge thank you to Vanessa. I have been suffering with back pain for years and just wish I had gone to see her much sooner. She is so patient and is really good at explaining what she is doing and recommending exercises and stretches for me to do at home. Would definitely recommend her and wouldn’t consider going anywhere else.

I’ve been struggling with intense pain in my back shoulder and arm for over a month. One amazing session with Vanessa and the pain is all but gone! My neck is more flexible, no pain at all down my arm and almost nothing in my back.I would highly recommend the Therapy Zone. I’m amazed at her abilities

I had been suffering from hip pain throughout the lockdown period, which wasn’t getting any better. I decided to book an appointment with Vanessa at The Therapy Zone in Alloa to see if the discomfort could be relieved through physio. Vanessa was very knowledgeable and talked me through the possible causes of the discomfort and after some stretching and exercise routines, I was already feeling a lot better. After a few weeks of following the exercises, I had a follow-up session with Vanessa and again, Vanessa spent more time understanding my issue and after some more physio advised some additional exercises. My hip feels so much better now and I have so much more movement in it with no discomfort. I have no hesitation in recommending Vanessa and The Therapy Zone; Vanessa is extremely knowledgeable and takes time to fully understand the issue and takes time explaining how the affected parts of the body work together and what may have been causing the issue along with giving clear and simple-to-follow exercises to do to help with the recovery.
